This brief supports the argument that labor standards can contribute to a better distribution of the gains from globalization. The author explains that on a domestic level, US policymakers should consider a revised approach to labor standards that leaves details of labor laws to national governments and that provides financial and technical assistance to help countries improve labor conditions. The author concludes that US policy should focus on ensuring that US workers have an adequate safety net, while assisting countries in improving compliance with labor standards.
